Karl Burke landed the corresponding event with the smart Miss Lamai 12 months ago and could repeat the dose with POLLY DARLING. The daughter of Showcasing fetched 110,000gns as a yearling and with her trainer perhaps inevitably beginning the season in fine form, she ought to be a real force. Filly Foden ran well to finish second on debut having been weak in the market and can show the benefit of that Musselburgh experience. There's A Chance warrants a market check ahead of her first start.

Polly Darling fits the bill on paper but FILLY FODEN can make the most of her experience after a pleasing second at Musselburgh.

Not a daunting standard set by those with experience, so a chance can be taken on MONTPELLIER. James Ferguson's gelding has a speedy pedigree courtesy of his dam Mabs Cross, but Wootton Bassett has sired some top-class middle-distance performers and this could be an ideal starting point for him. 110,000-euro purchase Mao Shang Wong and Earthlight gelding Illuminator must be of interest, although high draws are far from ideal. City Of Poets and A War Eagle are just two others to consider.

Those with experience look ordinary and the vote goes to newcomer CITY OF POETS with Illuminator and Montpellier respected.

Mount Athos holds a fitness edge over all of his rivals having recorded a narrow success at Kempton last month and the talented six-year-old merits the utmost respect, despite appearing to enjoy an artificial surface more than he does the turf. It might still pay to side with PABORUS, who rounded off last season with a decisive win at Southwell in October and should continue to progress throughout the campaign. Northern Express is most appealing of the remainder.

Mount Athos is solid despite a big penalty but PABORUS was firmly on the up in 2024 and can continue that progression this season.

ALZAHIR resumed winning ways at Doncaster last month, on his first start after wind surgery. There could be more to come from Jennie Candlish's charge and he can launch another serious challenge. A progressive sort last term, It Just Takes Time returns to action 3lb higher than when successful on Town Moor in November. He could prove competitive, while Kodi Lion won at Ascot last summer and debuts for Mick Appleby with solid claims.

There are grounds for expecting better from Rhythm Master today but KING OF FURY can build on his game reappearance win.

LADY LA FAY placed over 1m2f at Newbury on her handicap bow, having landed a novice race over this trip at Ripon before that. The daughter of Camelot has untapped potential in handicaps and may prove the one to side with. Baltic made a winning reappearance last term and went on to land a four-timer. Subsequently gelded, he can have a say in proceedings, while Majestic Warrior is interesting on his handicap debut and first start since May 2023.

The 6yo KNIGHTSWOOD is exposed but good ground over 1m4f are probably his optimum conditions. The same is not true for others in here.

BELL SHOT made a valiant attempt to make all over 7f at Kempton in February. Beaten less than a length into fifth, this shorter distance looks the logical move and the drop in class will also help. Musical Touch has plenty of scope after signing off last year with a victory at Wolverhampton. He rates a threat on his reappearance, while Milbanke will be sharper for a recent spin at Southwell.

The unexposed MUSICAL TOUCH (nap) is taken to maintain his progress by making a winning reappearance. Bell Shot is the main danger.

There is every chance that ROCK OF ENGLAND will have come forward from his reappearance run at Southwell last month and the five-year-old is an attractive proposition back on turf. The hat-trick seeking Lord Abama is an obvious threat back on grass at one of his happiest hunting grounds, while Wreck It Ryley and Cash In are not without hope in this company.

Lord Abama is the one to beat but ROCK OF ENGLAND shaped nicely over 5f on his first run after wind surgery and makes some appeal.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Monsieur Fantaisie could figure prominently on the back of a successful Wolverhampton spin, while Athollblair Boy is a stalwart campaigner with a clear chance based on his peak turf form. However, EMERALD ARMY ran well when last tried over C&D and, still unexposed over 6f, the four-year-old appears to have been found a decent chance of making a winning reappearance.

Plenty of possibles but the drop into this grade and wind surgery since last seen could see a revival from MASTERCLASS.
